  The SAP error message REAJME098 indicates that there is a problem with the date sequence in a reassignment or adjustment process. Specifically, it means that the calculated "from-date" for a particular record is earlier than a previously defined "from-date." This typically occurs in the context of managing time-related data, such as employee assignments, payroll periods, or other time-sensitive records.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by an inconsistency in the date ranges of records. For example, if you are trying to create or modify a record with a "from-date" that is earlier than an existing record's "from-date," SAP will raise this error to prevent overlapping or conflicting date ranges.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Records: Review the existing records in the system to identify the "from-date" that is causing the conflict. You can do this by navigating to the relevant infotype or transaction where the error occurred.
  
  
  Adjust Dates: Ensure that the new "from-date" you are trying to enter is later than any existing "from-date" for the same record or related records. You may need to adjust the dates of the existing records or the new record you are trying to create.
  
  
  Data Consistency: Ensure that all related records are consistent in terms of date ranges. If there are multiple records that are interdependent, make sure that their date ranges do not overlap or conflict.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct date ranges or how to adjust them, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes in a development or test environment before applying them in the production environment to ensure that the error is resolved.
